He  knows  best  the  needs  of  each  beneficiary  and  can  himself  most  wisely  distribute 
his  estate ;  he  should  therefore  assure  an  exact  execution  of  his  wishes  by  appointing  a

In  the  hands  of  this  company   his  cherished    purposes    will    be    faithfully    carried    out

THE   ALUMNI  REVIEW 


Volume  VII 


MAY  1919 


Number  8 


OPINION  AND  COMMENT 


The  Review  has  purposely  refrained  from  saying 

anything-  relative   to   the   most   momentous   question 

now     l)efore    the     University — the 

^^^o^dxt'^'^^^'^     election  of  a  president  to  direct  it 
CONCERN  /  .        ,         . 

to  a  higher  destiny  in  the  sister- 
hood of  universities,  and  to  make  it  a  greater,  more 
serviceable  institution  to  Xorth  Carolina. 

However,  it  believes  that  as  the  organ  of  the 
alumni,  it  has  the  right  to  express  directly  and  as 
positively  as  it  can  the  opinions  which  it  holds. 

First  of  all,  it  would  make  clear  the  fact  which 
it  believes  is  generally  accepted  in  educational  circles 
today:  Carolina  is  the  most  alert  university  in  the 
South. 

In  the  second  place,  the  University's  income  has 
been  more  than  doubled  in  the  past  six  years  and  its 
responsibilities  to  the  State  of  Xorth  Carolina  are 
correspondingly  increased. 

In  the  third  place,  its  student  body  and  faculty 
and  alumni  have  become  accustomed  to  respond  to 
distinctive  leadership  and  feel  a  profound  pride  in 
Carolina's  achievements. 

Furthermore,  the  new  order  ushered  in  by  the 
war,  calls  for  wide  vision  and  large  ability  on  the 
part  of  educational  leaders  and  especially  on  the 
part  of  the  president  of  this  aggressive,  effective 
University. 

In  view  of  these  facts,  it  is  the  duty  of  the  Trus- 
tees (a  most  difficult  duty,  to  be  sure)  to  select  as 
president  such  a  man  as  will  through  his  training, 
achievement,  ability,  and  character,  insure  the  con- 
tinuation of  this  sort  of  inspiring  leadership. 

The  Review  has  previously  commented  on  the 
difficulty  necessarily  experienced  by  such  a  large 
body  as  that  of  the  Trustees  in  applying  proper 
standards  in  the  selection  of  a  president.  Unfortu- 
nately it  has  no  specific  formula  to  offer.  But  it 
does  emphasize  with  all  the  power  it  possesses  the 
importance  of  the  selection,  and  the  absolute  ne- 
cessity of  laying  aside  all  considerations  other  than 
those  which  will  insure  the  University  the  sort  of 
leadership  indicated ;  for  Carolina  must  go  foi'ward. 
This,  we  believe,  is  what  the  alumni  would  have  us 
in  all  seriousness  sav. 


Considerable   comment   has   recently   appeared   in 

the   State   press   concerning  the   proposal   made   by 

Col.  J.  Brvan  Grimes  (see  another 

SevSSpment  P^^^^)  ^«  '^^^  Trustees  to  develop 
the  550-acre  tract  oi  land  belong- 
ing to  the  University  and  lying  to  the  south  of  the 
campus.  Interest  has  also  been  expressed  in  a  plan 
proposed  by  Mr.  John  Sprunt  Hill  for  the  develop- 
ment of  the  land  lying  immediately  east  of  the 
campus. 

The  Review  has  not  carefully  studied  the  pro- 
posed suggestions,  hut  it  heartily  commends  the  gen- 
eral principle  involved  in  the  proposals.  The  Uni- 
versity has  reached  the  point  where  it  must  provide 
for  definite,  extensive  expansion.  The  first  require- 
ment to  this  end  is  to  develop  an  artistic,  workable 
plan  which  will  bring  harmony  and  beauty  (as  far 
as  they  can  be  secured  at  this  late  date)  into  the 
present  grouping  of  buildings  and  will  insure  an 
aesthetic  future  extension  of  the  campus. 

We  believe  that  the  late  President  Graham  pro- 
vided for  a  tentative  plan  looking  to  this  end,  but 
it  did  not  reach  full  maturity.  Entirely  too  much  is 
at  stake  for  the  matter  to  he  further  delayed,  and  posi- 
tive, constructive  action  should  be  immediately 
taken. 

nnn 

Readers  of  The  Review  may  have  observed  that 

in  recent  issues  frequent  reference  has  been  made  to 

how  other  colleges  and  universities 

following  excerpt  irom  the  Min- 
nesota Alumni  Weekly  to  indicate  the  terms  in 
which  Minnesota  legislators  visualize  building  pro- 
grams : 

Tuesday,  April  1,  the  House  endorsed  the  Uni- 
versity program  by  adopting  it  by  a  practically  unan- 
imous vote.  On  the  question  of  the  ten-year  build- 
ing program  the  vote  was  91  to  9  and  on  the  regular 
liudget  the  vote  was  unanimous — without  the  reduc- 
tion of  a  single  item.  The  building  program  car- 
ried with  it  authority  for  the  Board  of  Regents  to 
issue  certificates  of  indebtedness  to  the  amount  of 
$560,000  a  year  for  a  period  of  ten  years — $6,600.- 
000  in  all. 


It 


THE     ALUMNI      REVIEW 


The  vote  was  particularly  gratifying  to  President 
Burton  and  others  elosely  connected  with  the  T^ni- 
versity,  and  was  a  vindication  of  the  practice  of 
going  and  frankly  asking  for  what  is  needed  for  the 
ITniversity  to  make  it  of  the  highest  use  to  the  people 
of  the  State. 

nan 

Present   indications   point   to   a   big   home-coming 
on   the   part   of  the   alumni   June   15-18.      For   two 
vears    war    has    cut    the    attendance    at 


BACK  TO 
THE  HILL 


Commencement  and  interest  has  centered 
in  other  things.  During  the  war  period 
thirty-six  alumni  have  lost  their  lives  in  the  service 
of  their  country,  and  approximately  2, .500  have  worn 
the  uniform.  But  with  victory  won,  and  the  troops 
returning  to  their  homes,  there  is  a  genuine  longing 
on  the  part  of  all  the  niemhers  of  the  big  Carolina 
family  to  come  back  home. 

To  make  the  reunions  of  this  year — the  Victory 
reunion — thoroughly  happy  for  all,  the  University 
has  set  aside  alumni  headquarters  and  will  spare  no 
pains  to  make  all  returning  Carolina  men  comfort- 
able while  here.  Information  as  to  particulars  can 
be  found  in  other  columns  of  this  issue,  and  E.  R. 
Eankin,  Secretary  of  the  Alumni  Association,  is  pre- 
pared to  give  alumni  any  assistance  desired  in  ar- 
ranging for  the  stay  on  the  campus.  And  The  Re- 
view is  always  at  the  service  of  the  alumni  for  any 
aid  that  it  can  give. 

nnn 

In   an   earlier   issue   The   Review    expressed   the 
hope  that  Carolina's  war  record  might  be  summar- 
ized in  a  special  number  before  the 
CAROLINA'S  T      f  .1,  TT   t     ^        *  1

heginning  has  only  ]ust  now  r>een 
made  in  assembling  information,  owing  to  the  fact 
that  the  University  could  not  secure  the  services  of 
any  one  earlier  to  prosecute  the  work.  Mr.  A.  M. 
Coates  has  undertaken  the  task  and  alumni  will  be 
called  on  at  an  early  date  to  give  information  con- 
cerning their  participation  in  the  war.  When  the 
request  comes,  please  let  your  answer  be  full  and 
prompt. 

nnn 

On  another  page  The  Review  carries  a  communi- 
cation from  Dr.  A.  S.  Wheeler,  of  the  Department 

of  Chemistrv,  relative  to  the  edi- 
OFFICE  MA-  ,      ■   ,        ,.,V   T    rim        nir     \  ■ 

/-TiTii.TT^r.-,r  »/-.  .T».T  tonal  entitled  Umce  Machinery 
CHINERY  AGAIN  .        .,,.,.  -tn 

appearing  in  the  April  issue.  Dr. 

Wheeler  makes  the  point,  and  supports  it  with  a 
very  interesting  statement  of  facts,  that  the  Alumni 
Building  cannot  be  made  into  an  acceptable  Admin- 
istration Building,  l)ut  that  it  should  1)0  used  exclu- 


ATHLETICS  AND 
PUBLIC  HEALTH 


sively  for  recitation  purposes.  He  urges  the  erec- 
tion of  an  adequate  Administration  Building  whi^'h 
will  take  care  of  all  present  administrative  offices 
and  will  admit  of  the  expansion  in  the  University's 
business  which  may  be  expected  in  the  future.  It 
is  undoubtedly  true  that  the  office  space  of  practic- 
ally all  the  new  buildings  is  too  limited,  and  in  the 
future  more  liberal  space  for  this  purpose  should  l)e 
provided. 

nnn 

At  various  times  throughout  the  year  The  Review 
has  expressed  the  hope  that  with  the  return  to  normal 
college  activities,  the  University 
would  lay  more  emphasis  than 
formerly  upon  general  atliletics 
and  public  health.  At  the  risk  of  repetition,  we  re- 
turn to  the  subject  again,  because  it  is  so  tremend- 
ously important,  and — it  is  so  easy  to  go  back  to  the 
old  ways.  Carolina  needs  to  teach  the  student  body 
the  importance  of  personal  physical  well-being  and 
public  welfare.  The  Carolina-Virginia  game  will 
take  care  of  itself,  but  every  day  emphasis  should 
be  placed  upon  being  on  the  tennis  courts,  or  class 
fields,  or  the  track,  or  in  the  gymnasium,  or  on  a 
long  hike.  There  is  no  such  thing  as  a  vicarious  ex- 
ercise. You  take  it,  and  get  the  benefits  from  it, 
or  you  fail  to  take  it,  and  pay  the  penalty. 

Similarly,  it  is  highly  important  that  the  Uni- 
versity, through  the  proposed  Health  Director,  em- 
phasize the  necessity  of  University  men  knowing 
more  and  caring  more  about  public  health  conditions. 

With  the  return  of  Coach  Campbell,  and  the  ad- 
dition of  a  Health  Director  and  Dr.  Thorndike  Sa- 
ville,  an  expert  sanitary  engineer,  the  University 
should  make  a  notable  contribution  to  the  student 
body  and  State  in  these  particulars. 

nnn 

An  announcement  which  The  Review  very  re- 
luctantly makes  is  that  with  the  conclusion  of  the 

l>r('scnt  academic  vear  the  sub- 
SUBSCRIPTION  '      •      .  .  n  1  1  1 

PRICE  ADVANCED    ^'•'•>l'fi""  P^^e  Will  be  advanced 

from  $1.00  to  $1.50  per  year. 
This  step  is  forced  upon  the  management  which  is 
confronted  with  a  $500  deficit  for  the  present  year 
incident  to  the  tremendously  increased  cost  of  print- 
ing during  the  past  eighteen  months.  For  seven 
years  The  Review  has  been  issued  at  the  same 
price — $1.00  per  year — while  prices  for  all  that 
enters  into  its  publication  have  steadily  climbed 
until  they  are  double  what  they  were  when  The  Re- 
view was  established  in  1912. 

With    the   increased   subscription   and    rlic   jii'esent

advertising,  it  is  hoped  tiiat  the  standard  of  the 
publication  may  be  maintained  or  definitely  im- 
proved; and  for  these  reasons  the  management  takes 
the  step  indicated. 

While  making  this  announcement,  we  urge  every 
alumnus  who  is  in  arrears  for  The  Review  for  the 
year  to  remit  at  once  so  that  further  expense  may 
not  be  incurred  in  sending  statements. 

nnn 

Every  year  the  assistance  of  alumni  is  sought  in 
securing  the  attendance  of  a  large  Freshman  class. 
This  year,  as  the  campaign  gets  under 
way,  it  becomes  apparent  that  the  en- 
rollment of  new  men  in  September 
may  be  considerably  reduced  xinless 
.special  elfort  is  put  forth.  The  big,  outstanding  dif- 
ficulty in  the  way  of  a  large  enrollment  is  that  the 
prospective  freshmen  are  not  in  the  high  schools. 
The  number  of  seniors  in  the  high  schools  of  the 
State  this  year  is  only  half  what  it  was  last.  The 
draft,  influenza,  and  scarcity  of  labor  last  fall  se- 
verely cut  high  school  attendance  on  the  part  of  the 
older  boys,  and  consei[uently  the  number  of  those  who 
are  prepared  for  college  is  correspondingly  reduced. 
This  fact  makes  it  especially  desirable  that  ahimni 
give  all  assistance  possible  in  securing  the  Univer- 
sity's full  quota  of  those  who  are  prepared.  Any  in- 
formation of  this  sort  will  be  gratefully  received  by 
.Mr.  A.  M.  Coates,  who  is  in  chai'ge  of  this  particular 
work  for  the  University.

On  another  page  we  print  the  list  of  directors  of

l;i>ur  in  this  campaign  is  at  hand,  and  every  alumnus, 
whether  a  director  or  not,  should  see  to  it  that  the 
local  campaigii  is  vigorously  pushed  and  that  gen- 
erous contributions  are  secured.  Alumni  day  is  less 
than  three  weeks  off,  and  noir  is  the  time  to  act. 
Read  the  letter,  cooperate  with  your  director,  and 
hring  the  campaign  to  a  magnificent  end. 

And  in  doing  this,  get  the  proper  perspective. 
Harvard  has  the  Harvard  Union ;  Brown,  the  Brown 
T'uion;  and  the  University  of  Pennsylvania,  Hous- 
ton Hall.  Michigan  has  put  $750,000  into  such  a 
building.  Cornell  is  asking  for  $1,000,000  for  a 
^lemorial  Hall.  Minnesota  proposed  $1,250,000. 
Vanderbilt  expects  to  secure  $300,000  in  May,  and 
has  only  recently  secured  through  alumni  $1,000,000 


as  an  endowment  fund.  This  is  the  first  call  Carolina 
has  made  in  fifteen  years  for  a  big  university  need. 
Let  the  answer  i>e  emphatic  and  let  the  amount  be 
largely  oversubscribed. 


EXECUTIVE  COMMITTEE  OF  TRUSTEES  MEETS 

At  a  meeting  of  the  Executive  Committee  of  the 
Board  of  Trustees  of  the  University  in  Raleigh  on 
April  4th,  a  committee  of  five  was  appointed  to  in- 
vestigate the  proposal  to  develop  the  550-acre  tract

Parker,  of  Asheville.  The  committee  is  to  report  its 
findings  to  the  Board  of  Trustees  at  the  regular  meet- 
ing. The  idea  suggested  by  Secretary  of  State 
Grimes,  is  to  build  homes  for  professors  and  to  build 
other  structures,  provide  a  park  and  develop  property 
in  accordance  with  the  potential  needs  of  the  Uni- 
versity.

ogy and  Dartmouth,  and  having  served  in  the  engi- 
neering corps  of  the  United  States  Army  as  first  lieu- 
tenant.

TEN  CLASSES  PREPARE  FOR  REUNIONS 


Big  Plans  are  Under  Way  for  Reunions  of  Maximum  Interest  at  Commencement 


Extensive  plans  are  being  made  on  the  "Hill"  for 
the  return  of  the  classes,  ranging  from  1859  nntil 
1918,  which  will  hold  special  reunions  at  the  ap- 
proaching commencement.  The  committees  in  charge 
of  the  reunions  from  the  respective  classes  urge  that 
every  member  of  the  classes  of  1859,  1869,  1879, 
1889,  1894,  1899,  1904,  1909,  1914,  and  1918,  make 
detailed  plans  in  advance  to  be  present  at  the  re- 
unions, which  this  year  promise  to  be  more  import- 
ant and  interesting  than  ever.  In  addition,  every 
alumnus,  no  matter  whether  his  class  holds  a  special 
reunion  or  not,  is  urged  to  be  present  for  the  com- 
mencement exercises,  and  for  the  general  gathering 
of  the  alumni  which  will  be  held  on  Tuesday  morn- 
ing, June  17th,  Alumni  Day,  in  Gerrard  Hall. 
Service  Men  to  be  Back 

A  feature  of  special  interest  at  this  commence- 
ment will  be  the  Victory  Eeunion  of  alumni  from 
service.  This  special  feature  will  come  on  the  af- 
ternoon of  Alumni  Day.  Every  Carolina  man  who 
was  in  military  service — and  the  list  of  Carolina 
men  in  service  numbers  more  than  2,250 — is  espe- 
cially urged  to  be  present  at  this  time  and  partici- 
pate in  this  Victory  Reunion.  The  program  which 
is  being  worked  out  for  this  occasion  will  be  of  such 
a  nature  as  to  make  this  Victory  Eeunion  a  feature 
of  keen  interest  to  every  alumnus. 

Alumni  Conference  Scheduled 

The  program  for  commencement  which  has  re- 
cently been  announced  includes  many  features  which 
will  strongly  appeal  to  alumni.  A  special  program 
for  Alumni  Day  has  been  arranged,  this  varying 
somewhat  from  the  program  of  former  Alumni  Days. 
The  special  reunion  exercises  of  the  various  classes 
will  not  be  held  in  Gerrard  Hall  on  the  morning  of 
Alumni  Day  as  heretofore,  but  in  their  place  a  meet- 
ing of  the  General  Alumni  Association  has  been 
called  for  10  :45  Tuesday  morning,  in  Gerrard  Hall. 
President  Connor,  of  the  General  Alumni  Associa-

chairman  of  the  faculty,  and  brief  talks  on  the  Gra- 
ham Memorial  Fund,  the  Alumni  Loyalty  Eund  and 
the  Alumni  Review.  In  addition,  it  is  expected 
that  plans  of  importance  will  be  made  at  this  con- 
ference for  furthering  in  a  systematic  fashion  the 
work  of  the  General  Alumni  Association  throughout 


the  State  and  country.  Every  alumnus  who  can 
possibly  be  present  is  urged  to  attend  this  meeting. 
The  Alumni  Luncheon  will  be  held  at  1 :00  o'clock 
in  Swain  Hall.  As  a  feature  of  the  luncheon,  there 
will  be  short  talks  by  representatives  of  the  ten, 
twenty-five,  forty  and  fifty-year  reunion  classes.  At 
4 :00  o'clock  in  the  afternoon  the  Victory  Reunion 
of  the  alumni  from  service  will  be  held.  At  5  :00 
o'clock  on  Emerson  Field  and  on  the  class  field,  there 
will  be  baseball  games  between  the  different  classes 
holding  reunions.  The  meeting  of  the  Board  of 
Trustees  will  be  held  in  Chemistry  Hall  at  8 :00 
p.m.  The  inter-society  debate  will  be  held  in  Ger- 
rard Hall  at  8 :30  o'clock.  The  exercises  of  Alumni 
Day  will  be  concluded  with  a  reception  to  the  Senior 
Class  at  10:00  p.m.  in  the  Gymnasium. 

Banquet  Halls  and  Quarters  Provided 

Adequate  arrangements  are  being  made  to  take 
care  for  the  physical  well-being  and  comfort  of  all 
alumni  returning  to  commencement.  All  of  the 
alumni  returning  to  class  reunions  will  be  housed  to- 
gether in  various  sections  of  the  dormitories. 

General  headquarters  will  be  established  at  Uni- 
versity Inn,  and  every  alumnus  is  expected  to  reg- 
ister there  upon  his  arrival.  In  addition,  the  classes 
holding  special  reunions  will  have  special  headquar- 
ters in  the  dormitories.  Placards  will  be  put  up

DURHAM  WINS  THE  AYCOCK  CUP 


Miss  Aura  Holton  and  Leo  Brady  Defeat  Miss  Sudie  Creech  and  William  Hosea 
of  the  Goldsboro  High  School,  in  Seventh  Annual  Contest 


The  seventh  annual  iinal  contest  of  the  High 
School  Debating  Union  came  to  a  very  successful 
conclusion  on  May  2nd  in  Memorial  Hall,  when 
Leo  Brady  and  Miss  Aura  Holton,  representing  the 
Durham  high  school,  triumphed  over  all  others  and 
won  the  award  of  the  Aycock  Memorial  Cup.  Their 
opponents  in  this  final  debate  were  Miss  Sudie 
Creech  and  William  Hosea  of  the  Goldsboro  high 
school.  The  query  was:  Resolved,  That  the  Govern- 
ment of  the  United  States  should  adopt  a  policy  of 
requiring  one  year  of  military  training  of  all  able- 
bodied  men  before  they  reach  the  age  of  21.  Gohls- 
boro  advocated  the  affiriuative  and  Durham  defended 
the  negative. 

This  year's  contest,  in  point  of  interest  and  keen 
enthusiasm  shown  by  the  contestants  and  the  spirit 
of  good  sportsmanship  evidenced,  was  one  of  the  most 
notable  in  the  history  of  the  LTnion.  One  hundred 
and  sixty-four  youthful  debaters  representing  forty- 
one  high  schools  came  to  the  University  for  the  final 
contest.  Their  stay  at  the  University  was  a  very 
enjoyable  one  and  the  knowledge  of  the  L^niversity 
which  they  received  will  prove  helpful  to  them  and 
to  the  University.  The  debaters  represented  all 
sections  of  the  State.  One  delegation  came  from  as 
far  east  as  Dare  County.  There  were  present  sev- 
enty-five girl  debaters. 

The  dates  of  May  1st  and  2nd  were  set  apart  as 
"High  School  Week"   in  the  Universitv's  calendar. 


Other  features  of  this  week  were  the  seventh  annual 
inter-scholastic  track  meet  and  the  fourth  annual 
inter-scholastic  tennis  tournament. 

The  Preliminaries 

The  1(54  debaters  who  participated  in  the  final 
contest  had  all  been  successful  in  their  triangular 
debates  on  April  4th,  in  which  series  720  debaters 
representing  180  schools  in  7.5  counties  participated. 

The  first  general  meeting  of  debaters  and  teachers 
was  held  in  the  auditorium  of  the  Peabody  Building 
on  Thursday  afternoon.  May  1st.  Professor  X.  W. 
Walker  presided  over  this  meeting  and  extended  a 
hearty  welcome  to  the  visitors.  This  year  for  the 
first  time  there  were  rejoinders  in  the  first  prelim- 
inaries, which  were  held  on  Thursday  night.  There 
were  twelve  sections  and  each  team  was  paired  off  by 
lot  with  an  opposing  team.  From  each  section  one 
affirmative  and  one  negative  team  were  chosen  for 
the  second  preliminary  on  Friday  morning.  May 
2nd.  The  schools  which  had  teams  making  the  sec- 
ond preliminary  on  the  affirmative  were:  Carthage, 
Angier,  Louisburg,  Roanoke  Rapids,  Durham,  Au- 
lander,  Belhaven,  Mount  Olive,  Lincolnton,  Golds- 
boro, Winston-Salem  and  Advance;  on  the  negative: 
Rockingham,  Mount  Olive,  Louisburg,  Canton, 
Bethel,  Newton,  Stony  Creek,  Durham,  Clemmons, 
Selma,  Jfoiint  Gilead  and  Elizabeth  City.  The  schools 
having  teams  in  the  second  preliminary,  both  affirm-

ative  and  negative,  were :  Durham,  Mount  Olive  and 
Louisburg. 

Final  Debate 

The  audience  which  came  to  hear  the  final  debate 
on  Friday  evening,  May  2nd,  between  Durham  and 
Goldsboro^  filled  Memorial  Hall  to  its  capacity.  It 
has  been  estimated  that  the  audience  numbered  2,000 
persons.  Dr.  H.  W.  Chase,  chairman  of  the  Fac- 
ulty, presided  over  the  debate.  Dr.  Chase  expressed 
the  University's  gratification  at  having  the  visitors 
present  from  the  high  schools  and  pointed  out  the 
splendid  value  of  the  High  School  Debating  Union 
as  a  developer  of  enlightened  public  discussion  in  our 
democracy. 

The  speakers  on  both  sides  presented  their  argu- 
ments forcefully  and  to  such  good  effect  as  to  draw 
forth  rounds  of  applause  from  the  large  audience. 
The  rejoinders  were  spirited,  and  throughout  the 
debate  the  speakers  gave  exhibition  of  having  an 
accurate  knowledge  of  the  issues  involved  in  the 
query.  The  decision  of  the  judges,  Messrs.  H.  H. 
Will'iams,  L.  P.  McGehee,  c'  L.  Raper,  D.  D.  Car- 
roll and  W.  S.  Bernard,  was  unanimous  in  favor  of 
the  negative. 

Professor  N.  W.  Walker,  chairman  of  the  High 
School  Debating  Union  committee,  presented  the 
Ayeock  Memorial  Cup,  the  trophy  provided  by  the 


inter-collegiate  debaters  of  the  University,  to  the 
winners.  Professor  Walker  paid  tribute  to  the  high 
school  forces  of  the  State  who  had  made  the  debates 
a  success  this  year  in  spite  of  great  difiiculties 
brought  about  by  the  war  and  influenza  epidemic. 
He  spoke  of  the  purposes  of  the  Debating  Union. 

This  year  for  the  second  time,  gold  medals  appro- 
priately inscribed  and  bearing  the  University's  seal, 
were  presented  to  the  four  debaters  who  participated 
in  the  final  debate.  Established  by  President  Gra- 
ham and  Dean  M.  C.  S.  ISToble  last  year,  these  medals 
were  continued  this  year  by  Dean  IVoble  and  the 
Secretary  of  the  Union. 

Dean  A.  H.  Patterson  presented  the  medals  and 
cups  to  the  winners  in  the  inter-scholastic  track  meet. 
Dean  Patterson  referred  to  each  medal  winner  a»  one 
who  had  rendered  service  of  a  distinctive  sort. 

Immediately  after  the  debate  a  reception  was 
tendered  the  visitors  Ity  the  Di  and  Phi  societies  in 
Bynum  Gymnasium.  This  was  the  closing  feature 
in  the  program  of  entertainment. 

Success  of  the  Debating   Union 

Since  its  organization  in  1913,  the  High  School 
Debating  Union  has  met  with  remarkable  success. 
It  has  grown  and  has  carried  with  it  helpful  results 
for  debaters,  the  schools,  the  communities  and  the 
University. 


GRAHAM  MEMORIAL  CAMPAIGN 


To  be  Pushed  to  a  Speedy  and  Successful  Conclusion — Final  Drive  Started  May  19 


With  the  view  of  pushing  the  Graham  Memorial 
Campaign  to  a  speedy  and  successful  conclusion, 
R.  D.  W.  Connor,  president  of  the  General  Alumni 
Association,  has  sent  out  letters  to  the  directors  nf 
the  movement,  as  follows  : 

The  most  important  period  in  the  campaign  for  the 
Graham  Memorial  Fund  has  arrived ;  the  time  in 
which  the  plans  of  the  Central  Committee  must  be 
carried  to  a  successful  end. 

The  final  success  of  this  sjjlendid  movement,  yo\i 
can  easily  see,  depends  on  you  and  your  fellow  Direc- 
tors. In  order  that  your  report  may  be  on  time  ami 
that  your  community  may  go  over  the  top  in  a  big- 
way,  the  Central  Committee  is  asking  that  you 
start  your  final  drive  the  week  beginning  Monday, 
May  10,  and  that  you  push  it  without  let  up  to  a 
successful  conclusion. 

The  reports  of  the  Directors  of  the  Graham  Memo- 
rial Fund  will  be  a  feature  of  Alumni  Day  at  Chapel 
Hill,  and  T  trust  that  when  vours  is  read  out  from 


the  platform  it  will  represent  the  real  (^arolina  way 
of  putting  across  a  big  Carolina  movement. 

I  also  wish  to  urge  the  necessity  of  large  subscrip- 
tions if  the  desired  amount  is  to  be  secured.  This  is 
the  first  time  in  fifteen  years  that  Alumni  or  citizens 
have  been  called  on  for  this  sort  of  aid,  and  certainly 
no  cause  was  ever  worthier  than  the  honoring  of  the 
life  and  work  of  Edward  Kidder  Graham  in  a  way 
that  will  fill  the  University's  greatest  present  day 
need. 

In  presenting  this  ]ihase  of  the  subject,  keeji  in 
mind  that  the  senior  class  now  in  the  University 
averaged  practically  $100  ]ier  mem'ber,  and  that  other 
subscriptions  went  to  $200  and  $.500.  What  shall  be 
the  response  of  the  Alumui  and  citizens  to  this  chal- 
lenge of  the  college  boys  ?  The  terms  of  pa>'ment 
make  large  subscriptions  ])ossible,  and  the  fact  that 
they  may  be  made  in  Lil>erty  Bonds  makes  possible 
still  larger  contributions. 

The  Alumni  of  the  University  and  interested  citi-

OFFICE  MACHINERY  SUGGESTED  IS  INADEQUATE 

Editob,  Alumni  Review: 

Sie: — I  have  just  read  your  editorials  on  Meeting 
the  Issue,  etc.,  with  considerable  interest.  Permit 
me  to  express  the  conviction  that  your  editorial  on 
Office  Machinery  does  not  adequately  present  the  sit- 
uation. You  will  agree  with  me  that  the  adminis- 
tration is  the  heart,  in  one  sense,  of  the  University, 
and  only  by  having  this  adequately  housed  and  or- 
ganized can  our  best  work  be  done.  I  know  that  the 
chemical  department  has  often  suffered  owing  to  the 
lack  of  proper  business  arrangements  of  the  adminis- 
tration. 

The  University  is  certain  to  have  a  great  growth. 
The  Alumni  Building,  if  designed  for  administra- 
tion purposes,  has  been  a  gross  failure,  recognized 
as  such  even  by  visitors,  to  say  nothing  of  us  who 
suffer.  No  rearrangements  of  the  Alumni  Building 
will  ever  fill  the  bill.  It  is  not  large  enough  to  start 
with  and  the  tearing  out  and  putting  in  of  partitions 
will  never  be  anything  but  makeshifts.  However,  if 
the  building  is  abandoned,  it  will  serve  very  well  in- 
deed as  a  recitation  hall,  excellent  rooms  being  pos- 
sible even  in  the  basement.

THE     ALUMNI      REVIEW 


A  nnieh  larger  building  for  administrative  pur- 
poses is  necessary  for  the  future  University  and  it 
would  be  criminal  not  to  look  well  ahead.  Such  a 
building  must  provide  for  the  following  purposes 
and  others  doubtless  may  be  thought  of: 

Main  Floor — President's  office,  president's  wait- 
ing room,  president's  secretary,  treasurer's  office, 
treasurer's  brick  vault,  business  manager's  office, 
business  manager's  waiting  room,  business  manager's 
secretary,  several  offices  for  deans,  registrar's  offices, 
faculty  room  (one  purpose  only),  a  room  for  small 
receptions. 

Second  Floor — Several  faculty  committee  rooms, 
various  publication  offices,  general  mailing  room, 
book  liinding  room,  ample  store  rooms  for  publica- 
tions. 

Basement — Electrical  shop,  electrical  store  room, 
carpenter  shop,  lumber  stock  room,  plumber's  shop, 
plumber's  store  room,  superintendent  of  grounds  and 
buildings,  shipping  room,  receiving  room,  elevator. 

When  you  consider  that  these  rooms  should  l)e 
large  enough  to  provide  for  expansion  within  each 
room  as  time  goes  on,  you  can  reailily  see  the  neces- 
sity for  a  large  building.  Such  a  building  should  be 
an  imposing  one  easily  recognized  as  one  of  special 
importance.  It  should  have  a  tower  with  a  clock. 
An  excellent  site  would  be  the  location  of  the  Inn 
and  the  old  Chapel  Hill  Hotel,  though  it  should  be 
set  considerably  back  from  the  street. 
Yours  for  progress,

THE  REVIEW  WITH  THE  MEN  IN  SERVICE 

Dixring  and  since  the  war  the  managers  of  The 
Review  have  made  every  reasonable  effort  to  send 
it  to  Carolina  men  in  the  service  both  at  home  and 
abroad  wherever  the  address  could  be  ascertained. 

Conclusive  proof  of  this  statement  is  furnished 
in  the  following  message  from  Capt.  Arnold  Sham- 
askin,  of  the  Medical  Corps,  with  the  53rd  Infantry, 
A.  E.  F.,  France: 

"Though  I  have  neglected  to  inform  you  about  the 
change  in  my  address  since  I  left  the  States  in  Jiily, 
1!)1S,  the  Alumni  Review  has  reached  me  every- 
wliere  I  was  in  France.  In  the  Vosges  mountains,  on 
the  Verdun  front,  and  in  the  rest  areas  this  publi- 
cation has  always  found  me  somehow.  As  I  do  not 
expect  to  be  back  home  within  the  next  six  months. 
von  will  kind]\-  send  The  Review  to  me.'' 


EXPANSION  OF  GROUNDS  PROPOSED 

The  Executive  Committee  of  the  Board  of  Trus- 
tees of  the  University  of  Xorth  Carolina  yesterday 
appointed  a  committee  to  investigate  and  report  at 
the  June  meeting  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  on  the 
feasiliility  of  developing  550  acres  of  woodland  ad- 
joining the  campus  of  the  University.  The  scheme 
has  long  been  advocated  by  Col.  J.  Bryan  Grimes, 
member  of  the  Executive  Committee,  who  argues 
tlu'  growing  congested  conditions  of  the  campus  as  a 
reason  for  the  needed  expansion. 

The  committee  to  investigate  is  composed  of  Col- 
onel Grimes ;  Mr.  George  Stephens,  of  Charlotte ; 
Mr.  James  A.  Gray,  of  Winston-Salem ;  Mr.  .lolin 
Sprunt  Hill,  of  Durham;  and  ilr.  Haywood  Parker, 
of  .Vsheville. 

Colonel  Grimes  hail  written  letters  to  the  Trustees

of  the  University  and  many  of  the  alumni  proposinji 
the  expansion  idea.  Likewise,  he  has  secured  from 
virtually  all  the  universities  of  the  country  diagrams 
of  their  campus  and  Iniildings,  with  expressions  of 
opinion  as  to  expansion. 

The  University  men  showed  marked  eagerness  for 
the  scheme,  while  the  university  authorities  of  other 
states  were  almost  united  in  the  opinion  that  had 
there  been  earlier  foresight  of  present  conditions  the 
trend  would  have  been  toward  expansion  rather  than 
toward  centralization  of  the  college  community  about 
the  principal  buildings. 

Colonel  Grimes'  Letter 

Colonel  Grimes'  scheme  as  set  forth  in  his  letter 
to  the  University  men,  follows: 

"Adjoining  the  48-acre  campus  tlic  University  of 
North  Carolina  owns  550  acres  of  woodland.  A.s 
this  land  is  well  set  in  magnificent  oaks,  its  scenic 
beauty  is  not  surpassed  in  central  Xorth  Carolina. 

"For  many  years  I  have  felt  that  the  University 
should  develop  this  property.  Many  of  the  older 
universities  are  now  hampered  by  grounds  that  are 
too  small  and  arc  making  efforts  to  secure  more  space 
and  breathing  room. 

"The  University  should  be  our  educational  center 
and  a  sentiment  is  fast  growing  to  observe  the  inten- 
tion of  the  Constitution  (Article  9,  Section  14),  and 
at  no  very  distant  day  we  may  expect  to  see  not  only 
additional  biiildings,  but  new  schools,  institutions 
and  colleges  clustered  around  a  greater  University. 

"The  University  of  Xorth  Carolina,  with  grounds 
second  to  no  institution  in  America,  is  scrambling  its 
buildings  into  a  congested  area,  while  it  has  hundreds 
of  imused  acres  suitable  for  building  sites. 
Expand  Toward  South 

"Instead  of  pressing  and  crowding  towards  the 
village  street,  it  shoidd  handsomely  expand  toward 
the  south,  as  the  original  plans  contemplated. 

"It  would  be  greatly  to  the  interest  of  the  Univer- 
sity to  have  a  large  park  laid  off  on  the  south  side  of 
the  campus.  In  this  park,  between  the  avenues  and 
streets,  permanent  park  spaces  running  the  full 
length  of  the  property  could  be  laid  off.  Squares  ad- 
joining the  present  campus  would  be  reserved  for 
future  University  buildings.  Future  fraterntiy  and 
club  houses  could  be  arranged  for  on  open  squares. 
A  residential  section  could  be  developed  with  large 
(one  or  two-acre)  lots,  giving  a  rural  or  suburban 
effect  and  each  residence  could  face  an  open  square, 
or  parked  place.  These  large  lots  could  be  leased  on 
long,  easy  terms  as  home  sites  for  professors,  student 
apartment  houses,  student  homes,  etc.  In  time  it 
might  be  found  a  good  investment  to  build  houses  to 
lease  to  professors.  A  section  could  be  divided  into 
residential  lots  that  could  be  let  in  long  leases  for 
homes  for  desirable  people.     Such  a  residential  park 


would  attract  people  of  means,  who  desired  homes 
in  quiet,  cultured  and  intellectual  surroundings. 

"If  other  institutions  or  colleges  should  be  con- 
nected with  the  University  there  are  hundreds  of 
acres  for  their  location. 

Have   Landscape   Gardener 

"A  competent,  broad-minded  and  sympathetic 
landscape  architect  could  lay  otf  college  and  park 
grounds  unequalled  anywhere  in  this  country. 

"The  avenues,  parks,  squares,  circles  and  vistas 
would  liear  names  of  men  associated  with  University 
life  and  history. 

"Besides  the  direct  material  benefits  to  the  Uni- 
versity from  such  a  University  and  residential  park, 
the  indirect  benefit  to  the  whole  State  would  be  gTcat, 
as  each  student  would  be  influenced  by  the  spacious- 
ness and  beauty  of  his  surrounding  and  would  carry 
these  ideals  back  to  his  home  with  him. 

"With  the  new  era  that  has  dawned  for  the  Uni- 
versity, now  is  the  time  for  this  development." — 
Xeirs  and  Observer,  April  5. 


WILSON  WINS  TENNIS  TOURNAMENT 

The  Wilson  high  school,  represented  by  William 
Finch  and  Eaymond  Matthews,  was  the  winner  of 
the  fourth  annual  inter-scholastic  tennis  tournament 
held  at  the  University  on  May  2nd.  The  Wilson 
high  school  won  both  in  sinoles  and  doubles.  Two 
trophy  cups  will  be  awarded  the  Wilson  high  school. 
Other  schools  taking  part  in  the  inter-scholastic  ten- 
nis tournament  were :  Charlotte,  Durham  and  Riath- 
erford  College. 


FRIENDSHIP  WINS  TRACK  MEET 

The  Friendship  High  School  won  the  seventh  an- 
nual interscholastic  track  meet  of  the  State  held  at 
the  University  on  May  2nd.  The  Friendship  con- 
testants piled  up  a  total  score  of  49  points,  followed 
by  Chapel  Hill  with  27,  Hillsboro  9,  High  Point  6, 
and  Huntersville  3. 


CARMICHAEL  TO  CAPTAIN  QUINT 

Billy  Carmichael,  of  Durham,  was  recently  elected 
captain  of  the  Carolina  basketball  team  for  next  sea- 
son. Carmichael  played  a  star  game  at  forward  dui-- 
ing  the  past  two  seasons  and  led  his  teammates  in  the 
number  of  points  scored  this  season. 

With  the  splendid  material  already  on  hand,  in 
addition  to  several  former  varsity  men  who  will  be 
back  in  college  next  fall,  the  Carolina  squad  of  next 
season  will  undoubtedly  be  stronger  than  the  past 
season's  team,  which  is  saying  a  good  deal,  for  the 
past  season  was  a  great  success.

THE  UNIVERSITY  IN  LETTERS 


"Keynote  Studies  in  Keynote  Books  of  the  Bible'' 
(Fleming  H.  Revell  Co.,  New  York  and  Chicago, 
1919),  by  C.  Alphonso  Smith,  Head  of  the  Depart- 
ment of  English  in  the  United  States  Naval  Academy, 
embodies  the  James  Sprunt  Lectures  delivered  at 
T'nion  Theological  Seminary,  Richmond,  Va.,  in 
March,  1917.  This  lectureship  was  founded  by  Mr. 
James  Sprunt  of  Wilmington,  N.  C,  through  the  do- 
nation of  the  sum  of  thirty  thousand  dollars  in  1911. 
The  aim  of  the  lectures  is  to  bring  the  Bible  "home  to 
men's  business  and  bosoms,"  and  the  sacred  books 
dealt  with  are  Genesis,  Esther,  Job,  Hosea.  John's 
Gospel,  Romans,  Phillippians,  Revelation.  These 
chapters  are  preceded  by  an  introductory  essay,  ''The 
Keynote  Method,"  setting  forth  the  guiding  principle 
of  the  work.  In  each  book,  the  author  seeks  to  dis- 
cover and  to  exhibit  "some  central  and  commanding 
thought  that  gives  coherence  and  vitality  to  the 
whole."  The  author  is  emboldened  to  employ  this 
method  of  criticism  because  he  believes  that  "the 
time  is  surely  coming  when  all  great  literature  will 
be  studied  in  this  way."  The  first  chapter  of  Gene- 
sis, according  to  the  author,  abolished  mythology 
rliriiugliout  the  civilized  world,  it  "announced  unity, 
order,  and  progression  in  nature.''  The  chapter  mi 
Esther  is  a  striking  piece  of  literary  criticism  and 
analysis;  for  the  author  conclusvively  shows  that 
Esther  meets  Poe's  requirement  of  the  modern  short 
story  and,  so,  stands  as  a  sort  of  anticipation  of  this 
"modern"  form  of  art.  "As  in  Genesis,  so  in  Esther, 
such  character  is  a  type  but  also  an  individual ;"  and 
it  is  these  type  qualities  which  are  chiefly  stressed. 


Esther  is  conceived  as  "a  bit  of  constructive  ideal- 
ism faultlessly  conceived  and  faultlessly  embodied." 
Job  wrought  out  in  the  forge  of  his  own  experience 
the  great  truth  expressed  by  Froude:  "The  moral  life 
of  man  is  like  the  flight  of  a  bird  in  the  air.  He  is 
.sustained  only  by  effort,  and  when  he  ceases  to  exert 
himself  he  falls."  With  the  saying,  "Though  he  slay 
me,  yet  will  I  trust  him,"  the  book  passes  at  once 
"from  the  category  of  the  Greek  drama,  governed  by 
remorseless  fatality,  to  the  plane  of  the  Shakespearean 
drama,  where  personal  will  and  faith  and  hope  have  a 
chance  to  win  out  over  an  imposed  and  implacable 
doom."  The  central  thought  of  Hosea  Professor 
Smith  finds  in  the  words :  "For  I  desired  mercy,  and 
not  sacrifice ;  and  the  knowledge  of  God  rather  than 
burnt  offerings'' :  and  from  Hosea  may  be  said  to 
date  a  religion  that  "has  God  at  its  center  and  glad 
service  as  its  expression."  And  so — following  the 
method  outlined  in  the  opening  chapter — the  author 
g(H^s  through  each  of  the  remaining  books — John, 
Romans,  Philippians,  Revelation.  The  volume  is 
stimulating  in  thought,  rich  in  suggestive  compar- 
isons, and  packed  with  literary  allusions  at  once  in- 
dicative and  illustrative. 


A  volume  just  from  the  Princeton  University 
Press  is  Socialism  and  American  Ideals  by  William 
Starr  Myers  (U.  X.  C,  class  of  1897),  Professor  of 
Politics  in  Princeton  University.  The  college 
mates  of  Professor  Myers  at  Chapel  Hill  will  read 
with  interest  the  dedication :  "To  the  memory  of 
Samuel  Selden  Lamb  in  partial  fulfilment  of  a 
mutual  promise  made  at  dear  old  Chapel  Hill." 
Lamb  was  a  brilliant  young  law  student,  who  was 
]>aid  the  high  honor  of  election  to  the  editorship  oi 
The  Tar  Heel;  and  his  early  death  cut  short  a  career 
which  was  truly  brilliant  in  its  promise. 

In  regard  to  the  book's  general  thesis.  Professor 
Myers  declares  that  Socialism  is  fundamentally  un- 
American,  since  it  is  in  violation  of  the  basic  prin- 
ciples of  American  democracy.  It  is,  he  avers,  in 
(onflict  with  the  idea  of  equality  of  opportunity.  So- 
cialism he  finds  to  mean  a  substitution  of  govern- 
mental judgment  for  that  of  the  individual  and  for 
individual  ambititm  as  well.  "The  ideal  or  object  of 
the  Ignited  States  is  to  give  equality  of  opportunity  for 
each  individual  to  work  out  his  or  her  own  salvation 
in  a  political,  a  moral  or  an  economic  sense."  Social- 
ism would  lielp  people  in  spite  of  themselves;  and 
this,  he  maintains,  inevitably  pauperizes  and  atro- 
phies human  character.  In  both  Socialism  and 
Pacifism,  which  he  lumps  together,  the  essential  idea 
is  that  the  individual  should  meutallv  'lie  down'  and

'let  George  do  it."  "  In  additiou,  he  tiiids  Socialism 
i;ot  only  essentially  un-Amei'ican  but  essentially  un- 
democratic. "A  democraoy,"  he  says,  ''means  a 
government  by  public  opinion,  and  this  opinion  is  the 
result  of  the  co-operation  impulse  or  community  feel- 
ing of  the  people  of  a  free  country — a  people  who  are 
given  the  opportunity  to  think  for  themselves,  and 
are  not  thought  for  by  a  divinely  constituted  govern- 
ment." Whereas  Socialism  means  the  "substitution 
of  government  or  official  judgment  for  that  of  the 
individual.'' 


PEACE-MAKING  IN  CAROLINA 

The  following  appeared  in  The  Neir  Repuhlic  of 
^fay  lOtb,  which  speaks  for  itself: 

Sir:  I  have  recently  received  a  ))ublication  which 
seems  interesting  enough  to  warrant  my  calling  it  to 
your  attention.  It  is  the  report  of  a  "Peace  Confer- 
ence" held  at  the  University  of  North  Carolina. 

There  is  a  class  in  the  University  known  as  English 
21,  a  course  in  English  composition  under  the  direc- 
tion of  Dr.  Edwin  Greenlaw.  Three  months  ago  this 
class  was  organized  into  a  Peace  Conference.  Dif- 
ferent groups  were  created  to  represent  the  various 
nations.  The  various  issues  of  indemnities,  bounda- 
ries and  a  League  of  Nations  were  investigated  by 
the  delegates  of  the  different  "nations,"  and  a  report 
was  made  to  the  conference  as  a  whole.  Here  there 
was  discussion — and  a  final  settlement  by  vote.  What 
the  conference  decided  upon  has  been  made  into  the 
pamphlet  which  attracted  my  attention. 

r  do  not  propose  to  compare  North  Carolina's 
peace  settlement  with  what  has  been  done  in  Paris 
( though,  in  my  ovni  judgment,  North  Carolina  might 
stand  the  comparison).  There  are  other  conferences 
ahead  of  ns.  Doesn't  the  North  Carolina  plan  pro- 
\-ide  a  good  pattern  for  other  universities  ?

BASEBALL  SEASON  A  SUCCESS 

The  baseball  season,  which  came  to  a  close  on  May 
14,  was  a  most  successful  one  for  the  Carolina  team, 
in  spite  of  the  loss  of  the  Virginia  series.  Of  the  21 
games  played,  12  were  won,  seven  were  lost,  and  two 
were  tied.  Carolina  scored  89  runs  to  her  opponents' 
67  tallies.  Especially  successful  was  the  Northern 
trip,  four  out  of  the  si.x  contests  being  victories  for 
the  university  squad. 

All  of  this  year's  squad,  with  the  exception  of 
Herty,  Powell  and  Bryant,  will  return  to  college  next 
fall.  With  such  an  aggregation  on  hand,  together 
with  the  large  number  of  first  year  men  who  will  be 
eligible  for  the  team  next  season,  it  is  confidently  ex- 
pected that  Carolina  will  have  one  of  the  strongest

To  Coach  William  Lourcey,  who  not  only  worked 
hard  with  the  players  at  all  times,  but  taught  them 
some  baseball,  goes  much  of  the  credit  for  putting  out

operated with  the  men  whenever  possible.

The  citation  reads : 

"First  Lieutenant  William  O.  Smith,  318th  Machine  Gun 
Battalion.  An  officer  brave  and  full  of  dash.  On  the  9th 
and  10th  of  November,  1918,  he  led  his  section  with  the  waves 
of  infantry.  Taking  a  position  in  the  German  lines,  he  de- 
fended the  captured  ground  against  superior  forces  during  a 
violent  counter  attack  in  the  course  of  which  he  was  twice

I  heard  about  it.  It  is  true  that  he  was  captured  but  only 
after  being  wounded  to  such  an  extent  that  the  Boche  refused 
to  kill  him  when  they  had  the  opportunity  because  they  ad- 
mired )iis  bravery.  He  volunteered  to  cover  the  withdrawal 
of  a  company  which  was  about  to  be  annihilated  by  a  German

account  of  a  visit  fiom  the  King  and  Queen  of  Belgium  to 
Chaumont,   France,  wliere  Captain   Keesler   is  stationed. 

Prior  to  the  coming  of  the  King  and  Queen,  Captain  Keesler 
took  a  ride  to  General  Pershing's  chateau  to  get  the  lay  of  the 
land  for  parking  a  number  of  cars  when  the  King  and  Queen

trips,  which  Captain  Keesler  was  to  investigate  ahead  of  time. 
The  King  and  Queen  expected  to  arrive  March  19  in  an 
aeroplane  but  the  weather  was  bad  and  they  reached  Chaumont 
the  following  day  in  their  ear,  the  King  driving  and  Queen 
sitting   beside   him. 

On  Thursday,  Captain  Keesler  had  seven  ears  lined  up  at 
the  general 's  chateau  and  Captain  Keesler  was  the  pilot  who 
led  the  procession.  Chaumont  was  decorated  with  flags  and 
banners  and  the  streets  were  lined  with  French  and  American 
soldiers,  who  presented  arms  with  fixed  bayonets  as  the  King 
and  General  Pershing  alighted.  They  returned  to  General 
Allen 's  chateau  for  lunch.  General  Allen  is  in  command  of 
the  Eighth  Army  Corps.  The  band  in  the  yard  played  the 
Belgium  national  air.  The  royal  party  had  luncheon  at

Carolina,  is  another  of  our  baseball  stars.  Patterson,  while 
a  member  of  the  University's  baseball  team,  made  an  enviable 
record  and  became  known  throughout  the  state,  which  resulted 
in  his  being  elected  captain  in  1916.  'But  I  guess  I  am 
through  now;  my  left  pin  is  gone;  but  it's  great  sport,' 
says  the  sergeant;  'but  I  have  to  wait  for  my  artificial  limb 
and  learn  the  orthopedic  slide  to  second  base  before  I  am  a 
free  man '. ' '

Hyatt,  over  there  in  the  cradle  yelling  the  utmost.  He  weighs

NECROLOGY 


1853 

Col.    James    Turner    Morehead,    the    oldest    member    of    the 

Greensboro  bar  and  one  of  the  ablest  lawyers  of  the  State, 
died  at  his  home  in  Greensboro,  on  Friday  night,  April  11, 
following  a  short  illness  from  pneumonia.  He  was  82  years 
of  age.  Throughout  the  war  between  the  states  he  served  with 
distinction,  being  promoted  from  lieutenancy  on  up  to  the 
colonelcy  of  the  53rd  North  Carolina  regiment.  His  last  en- 
gagement was  at  Hare's  Hill,  Petersburg,  where  he  was  taken 
prisoner  after  invading  the  lines  of  the  enemy.  He  was  thrice 
wounded  during  the  war.  At  the  end  of  the  war  he  returned 
home  and  was  one  of  the  leaders  in  the  great  work  of  recon- 
struction. In  1866  he  served  in  the  house  of  commons  from 
Guilford  County.  From  1872  to  1875  he  served  as  senator 
from  Guilford  and  when  Lieutenant-Governor  Caldwell  be- 
came governor  was  elected  president  of  the  senate  and  dis- 
charged the  duties  of  lieutenant  governor.  In  1882  he  again 
served  in  the  senate  the  people  of  Guilford,  and  was  often  im- 
]iortuiiod  liy  his  party  to  accept  higher  honors,  but  refused. 

1888 
— Sheriff   H.   M.   Eowe   was   stricken   with   apoplexy   on   June 
29  and  died  on  August  4,  1918.     He  lived  in  Wilson,  N.  C. 

1904 
—The  death  from  influenza  at  Atlanta  on  Wednesday,  Dec. 
18th,  of  Branncr  Gilmer  brought  sorrow  to  a  very  wide  circle 
of  friends.  He  was  33  years  of  age,  the  only  son  of  former 
Attorney  General  and  Mrs.  Robert  D.  Gilmer,  and  inherited 
brains  and  character  from  both  sides  of  the  house.  On  his 
mother's  side  he  was  a  lineal  descendant  of  James  R.  Love, 
pioneer  and  patriot,  and  chief  land-holder  of  early  Western 
North  Carolina.  Branner  Gilmer  graduated  from  the  public 
school  at  Waynesville,  N.  C,  and  spent  a  year  at  the  famous 
Bingham  School  at  Asheville  and  a  year  at  the  State  A.  and 
M.  College  at  Raleigh.  Then  followed  four  fruitful  years  at 
the  State  University  where  he  was  a  member  of  Psi  chapter 
of  the  Sigma  Nu  Fraternity  and  graduated  with  the  degree 
of  LL.  B.  Pursuing  post  graduate  work  in  law  for  a  year 
at  George  Washington  University  at  the  Capital,  he  received 
the  degree  of  Master  of  Laws.  He  passed  the  North  Car- 
olina examination  for  law  license  before  he  was  21  and  re- 
ceived the  license  on  his  21st  birthday.  In  association  with 
his  distinguishd  father  and  later  with  Mr.  Felix  Alley  also, 
he  was  for  about  eleven  years  actively  and  successfully  en- 
gaged in  law  practice  at  Waynesville,  appearing  in  noted 
cases  and  earning  high  praise  for  his  skill  in  the  presentation 
of  eloquent  argument  before  the  juries  of  Haywood  county. 

Appointed  early  in  1918  to  a  most  responsible  position  with 
the  Department  of  Justice  of  the  United  States  at  Atlanta,  he 
exerted  his  legal  talents  with  signal  ability  toward  the  winning 
of  the  war.  Surviving  him,  besides  his  father,  mother  ard 
sister,  are  his  wife,  who  was  Miss  Maud  Duval  Semmes,  of 
Memphis,  a  relative  of  the  famous  Admiral  Semmes,  and  their 
child.  Greater  fame  and  usefulness  surely  awaited  Branner 
Gilmer,  a  reflection  which  adds  to  the  grief  felt  for  his  loss. 
He  had  a  great  heart  and  he  loved  and  was  beloved  by  his 
fellow-men.  Whitehead  Kluttz.
